Master of Research

Harper Adams University

MRes degrees can be studied as a stepping stone to doctoral-level study or as a standalone qualification for those interested in research careers in industry.Students spend one-third of the course studying four taught modules which follow a common framework, and the remainder of their time is focused on an in-depth research project. The area of research and title of the research project are agreed with a dedicated supervisor. The courses are delivered in one or two-week blocks throughout the academic year.We offer a range of MRes titles, which are reviewed each year, and all subjects link into areas of research that the university is actively involved with. The programme provides:a thorough understanding of your chosen area of studypractical and technical skills relevant to your subjectthe ability to formulate and test a hypothesis and draw valid conclusionsthe ability to solve problems by applying novel research techniquesMRes award titlesWhen applying online not all award titles will be available.
